Coexisting sellar Rathke cleft cyst and planum sphenoidale meningioma: illustrative case.

Background: The co-occurrence of Rathke cleft cysts (RCCs) and meningiomas in the sellar and parasellar regions represents an exceedingly rare clinical entity. Achieving maximal resection through a single operative approach while minimizing adverse events is challenging, often necessitating multiple surgical approaches, as suggested by previous reports.

Observations: The authors report the case of a 49-year-old female with a history of kidney transplant who presented with headaches and was diagnosed with coexisting RCC and meningioma in the sellar and planum sphenoidale regions, respectively.

"Beyond the Knife"-Applying Theranostic Technologies to Enhance Outcomes in Neurosurgical Oncology.

The current standard of care for brain tumor management includes maximal safe surgical resection followed by concurrent chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Recent advances in image-guided surgical techniques have enhanced the precision of tumor resections, yet there remains a critical need for innovative technologies to further improve patient outcomes. Techniques such as fluorescence image-guided neurosurgery in combination with stereotactic radiosurgery have improved outcomes for patients with brain tumors.

Stereotactic radiosurgery for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor brain Metastases: Systematic review and Illustrative case presentation.

Background: Neuroendocrine tumor (NET) brain metastases (BM) are rare malignancies which frequently bear a poor prognosis and have the potential to secrete hormones. The optimal treatment approach for these metastases remains unclear, with significant heterogeneity occurring both across and within primary tumor types, and outcome data are limited. Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (pNET) BM may be particularly aggressive.

Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Choriocarcinoma Brain Metastases: Illustrative Case Presentation and Systematic Review.

Background: Choriocarcinoma (CC) is a rare and aggressive form of germ cell tumor. There is limited evidence describing clinical outcomes in patients with primary CC and brain metastases (BM). Only a few single case reports have documented the use of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for CC BM.

Not all objects are created equal: The object benefit in visual working memory is supported by greater recollection-like memory, but only for memorable objects.

Visual working memory is thought to have a fixed capacity limit. However, recent evidence suggests that a greater number of real-world objects than simple features (i.e.
